History of Buddhist Taxila, Gandhara (video)
The History of the Lost City of Taxila (Pt. 1)
(Pakistani, Oct. 7, 2015) Uploaded via youpak.com. This documentary is on the history of Taxila, ancient Takkasilā (the "City of Cut Stone"), the capital of ancient Gandhara, a center of learning from pre-Buddhist times, where the Bodhisat (Buddha-to-be) once attended university with the future-Ananda, as described in the JatakaTales, disguised as Brahmins. They were found out and punished severely in that life and in lives thereafter.
